Explicit force coupling

Submitted by vkoppejan on Fri, 05/20/2016 - 16:33

Hi Everyone,

Quite recently this article by (amongst others) Bruno Blais was publised.

http://www.sciencedirect.com.tudelft.idm.oclc.org/science/article/pii/S0...

It mentoins that due to the low minimum fluidization velocity and particle relaxation times the implicit momentum coupling can be problematic due to pressure oscillations.

I'm modelling a similar system and I'm trying the explicit coupling but I can't get it to work. Any tips on how to set up the 0 folder and the couplingProperties file? All current tutorials use implicit coupling.

Thanks in advance.
